Case Study: Hivelocity achieves 100% uptime and high-performance DDoS protection with Corero SmartWall® TDS

Hivelocity Depends On The Corero Smartwall® Threat Defense System To Maintain High Performance And Service Availability For A Global Customer Base

Hivelocity is a Tampa-based data center and cloud hosting provider serving customers in more than 130 countries from its 30,000 sq. ft. facility with over 10,000 servers and a high-performance network built for low latency (250+ Gbps transit across nine providers). The company needed to guarantee continuous availability, reliability and fast network performance for a diverse global customer base — including gaming, payment processing and HIPAA-sensitive services — while defending against increasingly large DDoS attacks.

Hivelocity deployed Corero SmartWall TDS with SecureWatch Analytics on-premises at the network edge in a modular, one‑arm topology, complemented by edge filtering on Brocade devices. The automated solution blocks attacks (they’ve mitigated attacks >50 Gbps), preserves low latency and gives full visibility and incremental capacity upgrades; as a result Hivelocity reports no customer outages due to DDoS since deployment and continues to deliver 100% uptime.
